Provides granular queries of security logs and real-time alerting helps me mitigate risks
The real-time alerting helps me mitigate risks. For example, someone adds a member to the domain admin group. We have an alert set up, so if someone does this unexpectedly, we get notified. Then, we can check and verify if the action is legitimate or a potential threat to the environment.

Good capabilities, has a helpful interface and is straightforward to set up
We have asked for a couple of features from the company already. What typically happens is a lot of people - and developers are one of the biggest consumers of this product - go to this product to optimize their investigation process and specific configurations. That increases our data flow at times, so the cost changes. And a lot of changes happen due to that. We have asked the company to auto-revert the changes after a while so that the system works typically. We want it to work at what it is expected to work at and not really based on the updated configuration which one developer has decided to change.

Quotes from Members

"In terms of features, the querying is great."
"The solution is easy to use and to start with."
"The log monitoring is good, and the dashboards that we create are beneficial."
"Coralogix scales well, and I will rate it nine out of ten."

"A non-tech person can easily get used to it."
"The best feature of this solution allows us to correlate logs, metrics and traces."

"The pricing could be improved. It needs to be reduced."
"From my experience, Coralogix has horrible Terraform providers."
"The user interface could be more intuitive and explanatory."
"It would be helpful if Coralogix could integrate the main modules that any organization requires into a single subscription."
